More GREAT vintage!!!









Okay ladies, as promised.... here are some more shots of these OUTSTANDING one of a kind vintage pieces we have in the store and that are going QUICKLY!

Starting from the top: This beautiful linen embroidered dress that was in our window was bought yesterday by this super cute FLY girl you see photographed wearing it! What a great summer dress for any occasion!

Next, a small taste of these awesome vintage belts we have in stock in red, aqua, purple and tan! They are great accent pieces for any dress and look great over a cardigan paired with a tank. At first, we only had 4 in the store and they all went within ONE WEEK! I was able to get more for all you FLY girls who requested them, and for those of you who emailed me after you bought one and wanted another one! Get them while they are still here~ They are only $48 and because they are elastic, fit a variety of sizes and make a great gift!

The next couple of photos are of one of our favorite FLY girls, Jen! Jen fell in love with about 3 vintage dresses and had to make a couple of tough decisions...with a little help from her friend Brooke! She looks amazing in everything (must be tough) but especially in this vintage Hawaiian dress and this super vintage plaid dress (which was my personal fav). Which one would YOU have picked for her?

Our last 3 shots are currently starring in our window! We just could not resist the combination of vintage aprons over vintage slips, so feminine! Also this great vintage checkered apron over a denim skirt! Our last picture is one of my favorite vintage dresses! I picture this dress being worn to a beautiful baby shower this summer! It is just so sweet!

So come in and check out the great selection of vintage we have, it won't last long~ Oh, and BTW.... Jen went home with the plaid dress! :)
See you soon!

Fly Girls LOVE Vintage




Fly girls LOVE vintage, yes they do! Look at how GREAT these ladies look in their one-of-a-kind vintage pieces! Katie looks like this great late 1940's Polka-dot Navy dress was made for her! Updated with a red accent belt and she will be the envy of any event she attends! .... and check out how amazing Stevie looks in this 1950's Garden Frock! Stunning! Without a doubt nobody else owns a dress like this one, so feminine! Not to mention, this great early 1940's Lace dress on Julie! C'mon, have you EVER seen anything like that anywhere else? So elegant!

Beth and I have been VERY busy the past 3 weeks collecting and hunting for GREAT VINTAGE PIECES that are currently in the store and ladies, let me tell you..... it's among the BEST VINTAGE COLLECTION we have had for Spring and Summer since we've opened! So, if you have an important event to attend this summer and want to be the belle of the ball.... come in and check out these fabulous dresses before they are gone! Remember, we only have ONE of each! (That includes jewelry and clutches too!)

I promise, next week I will post some photos of these great pieces! Oh, and if you've been in the store and purchased a VINTAGE dress and we didn't get to photograph you in it, please email us a picture of you in it so we can post it on our blog! (email: thevelvetfly@gmail.com)

Happy Memorial Day weekend FLY girls!

A Successful Stroll!!





The Spring Stroll was a GREAT time! Thanks to all of the FLY girls that came out for a couple of drinks and some retail therapy! Many of us took advantage of the Pedicabs driving around the North End for the stroll! What a fun and eco-friendly way to travel!! A big thanks to Bre Cao-Garcia of Vinyl Vixen! Bre debuted her eco-friendly line of bowls at The Fly the night of the stroll and we LOVED them!
Next month, look for our 2 year anniversary event!! Did somebody say Sangria......
